Before starting a new save file I checked the settings menu—always check the settings menu—to find only a single option with a check box: “Mirth.” Uncheck it, and Mars After Midnight’s playful squiggly text stops shaking about so much. I wouldn’t dare, to be…
Another indie title on the way. Indie developers Broke Studio and GGS Studio Creation are following up on their Genesis / Mega Drive action platformer The Cursed Knight with The Cursed Legacy, a game which mixes run-and-gun mechanics with some unique 2D gameplay innovations, such as the ability to shoot from behind cover.

Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launched in early February and, while far from the disaster some were predicting after its lengthy development and multiple delays, so far hasn’t set the world alight.
